“…P. acnes is responsible for the production of endogenous porphyrins, mainly coproporphyrin III and protoporphyrin IX that have a spectrum of maximal absorption in the range of 400 to 415 nm. The excitation of endogenous porphyrins by highintensity specific light sources, such as blue LED, has been shown to decrease bacterial count in acne prone skin (Brownell et al 2016).…”

“…Exposed cells had an increased coproporphyrin product-ion, indicating that photoinactivation of these cells may be mediated by this endogenous porphyrin production. Blue light is believed to excite these endogenous porphyrins, leading to the production of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species that cause the death of the bacterium (Brownell et al 2016).…”

ABSTRAKAkne vulgaris (AV) ABSTRACT Acne vulgaris (AV) is an inflammation of pilosebaceous unit especially in young adult. The pathophysiology is the elevation of sebum production, keratinization of abnormal pilocebaseous follicles, and inflammation caused by immune response to Propionibacterium acnes.

Introduction: Narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy has been used for the treatment of chronic urticaria (CU), but the clinical efficacy of this treatment modality requires further evidence. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NB-UVB as add-on therapy in the treatment of CU. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang databases up to October 2020. A total of nine studies involving 713 participants met the inclusion criteria. Results: Two trials showed a significant difference in the Urticaria Activity Score between therapy with NB-UVB ? antihistamines and that with antihistamines alone (mean difference 8.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.78-10.68, p \ 0.00001). Six trials (563 participants) showed a significant benefit of NB-UVB as add-on therapy to antihistamines in the total effective rate (risk ratio [RR] 1.56, 95% CI 1.39-1.75, p \ 0.00001). In terms of adverse events, no statistically significant differences were found for NB-UVB ? antihistamines versus antihistamines alone (RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.67-1.79, p = 0.71). Combination therapy of NB-UVB ? antihistamines yielded a significantly lower risk of recurrence (RR 0.25, 95% CI 0.14-0.44, p \ 0.00001). Conclusion: Our meta-analysis suggests that combination therapy of NB-UVB ? antihistamines is significantly more effective in treating CU than antihistamines alone.
